UGL cleaning more Westpac buildings

Facilities manager UGL said Westpac selected the firm "for the integrated management of Westpac's Australian property, real estate, facilities and capital works services."

UGL, formerly known as United Group Limited, already held servicing contracts over some Westpac property, including contracts entered into with St George when that bank was independent.

The firm said in a statement to the ASX that it will now manage 865,000 square metres of space for Westpac, which may represent most of the bank's property holdings in Australia.

Property services has not been particularly profitable for UGL in Australia in recent years. UGL did not disclose any financial details on the contract.
